In August 2016,the 31 st Olympic Games was held in Rio DE Janeiro,Brazil.As a volleyball player,I watched all the matches of the women's volleyball team at the Olympic Games on TV and made a detailed analysis of the eight matches between Chinese Women's Volleyball Team(CWVT)and other teams,taking notes which analyzed the matches form tactics of CWVT and mindset's changes of the girls in CWVT.From the poor performances in group games to the outstanding performance in the quarter-finals where CWVT defeated the Brazilian Women's Volleyball Team,a team which had been No.1 for many years.And in the finals,CWVT counterattacked successfully the Dutch Women's Volleyball Team and the Serbia Women's Volleyball Team,both of whom beat CWVT in the group games,and finally won the champion in the Olympics again after 12 years.The poor performance in the group games triggered a verbal confrontation among some netizens on microblog.The media in China didn't pay much emphasis on the performances of CWVT,but which didn't cool volleyball fans off the games.From this,the author reaches that social media increase opportunity for netizens to communicate.After eliminating the Brazilian Women's Volleyball Team in the quarter-finals,major media in China began to focused on CWVT,but which led to the anger the common people.Chinese joy for the victory of CWVT gradually changed into the appreciation for the team and winning or losing was not the concern for the common gradually.Even to the finals,the ordinary fans watch the game mainly because of worshipping the team for members' struggle.For student athletes and professional athletes,as she watched the Olympic women's volleyball match between speak has been focused on the team tactics play above,at the same time,compared to their training and competition state a professional interpretations,betweenprofessional volleyball players the game content is more detailed and contrast to themselves,student athletes need to note down the high level technology and tactics of volleyball athletes in order to learn to use in the future.But for student athletes and professional athletes,they always paid their attention to the tactics of the team and reflected their own trains and performances in matches.Professional athletes would detail game contents and compare with their own game and student athlete would learn some tactics from the game for later training.Looking back on the performance of CWVT in the Rio Olympic Games and conducting interviews with certain persons from the three groups,nonathletes,student athletes and professional athletes,the author found that the three groups had different ideas on volleyball,such as different pregame projections,focuses while watching game,different degree of expectation for the game result and impacts from the game and the degree that the three groups are susceptible to comment on the web.And she also reached that today,with the rapid development of the Internet,the volleyball spectator groups had different objective reasons to watch the matches,especially for the common fans who gradually turned to athletes proper instead of game results for their farther understandings of volleyball.In other words,the fact that fans change their focuses on sports from athletics to athlete actually promotes the development of mass sports.With the continuous change from the volleyball sport to a market opportunity,coupled with the media to increase the intensity of volleyball publicity and the transformation of diversified publicity methods,China's volleyball undertaking will usher in a better development prospect.
